The only polar bear I'd seen today was on a Coca Cola can and it is doubtful that I'll see any more. Are you a member of the polar bear club? Do polar bears like strawberries? I had some for breakfast today. If I lived that far north, I think it would be important to have a good supply of Kahlua at all times.

I've never been to Mardi Gras. I'm not sure that I would like all the crowds and people who may have had a few too many. I like to plant flowers, but I'm not much for designing them. I would rather sleep in my house than out in public, so I guess I'll pass on that one too.

Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
